GF MACHINING SOLUTIONS developed its next-generation CUT S 400 Dedicated wire electrical discharge machine (EDM) to increase flexibility and reduce maintenance in the production aerospace jet-engine ...

A lot has been accomplished in recent years to make wire EDM more efficient and reliable, but little has been done to make it faster. A big part of that limitation is just physics. A standard 0.010” ...

They say that if you have a lathe, you have every other machine tool too. To some degree, that’s true — you can make almost anything on a lathe, including another lathe, and even parts best made on ...

GF MACHINING SOLUTIONS’ new iWire function automatically identifies and adapts wire speed to changing erosion height conditions during the wire EDM process. As the first of its kind for electrical ...

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a machining process that discharges electric sparks from two electrodes on a metal sheet to detach the desired shape. Also called spark machining, it employs ...

Linear motion components provide the foundation for smooth axis movement on a machine tool. Here are factors to consider when choosing machines with linear motion components that are durable and ...

Just as practical nuclear fusion has been “only 20 years away” for the last 80 years or so, the promise of electrical discharge machining (EDM) in the home shop seems to always be just around the ...
